Trucking Equipment Types

Dry Vans (Enclosed) Trailer

The Dry Van trailer is a staple in the transportation industry, prized for its ability to safeguard freight from weather and road hazards. Typically loaded from the rear, often utilizing loading docks where available, these trailers may also feature liftgates for efficient ground-to-trailer transfer.

Flat Deck Trailer

Standard flat decks, also known as flat beds, are the workhorses of the transportation world, ideal for bulk, heavy, or oversized equipment. Their versatile design allows for loading from the tip, sides, or rear, catering to a wide range of cargo needs.

Step Deck Trailer

Step decks share the functionality of flat decks but offer increased clearance for taller loads. Often utilized for transporting tall machinery or freight requiring extra height, step decks may come with optional tarping for added protection and versatility.

Double Drop Trailers / RGN (Removable Gooseneck)

Double-drop trailers provide clearance for oversized loads, with the option of a removable gooseneck (RGN) model featuring a detachable front for easy loading. RGN trailers are specialized for complex and high-value moves and are capable of carrying hefty freight loads of up to 150,000 pounds.

Stretch RGN Trailer

Stretch RGN Trailers are tailored for hauling exceptionally long freight that surpasses standard RGN capabilities. Depending on the weight of the cargo, these trailers may be equipped with three or more axles to accommodate heavier loads.

Lowboy Trailer

Lowboy trailers are engineered to transport taller items, surpassing the height limitations of standard flatbeds. Ideal for moving freight between loading docks or within a freight yard, lowboys offer versatility and reliability for transporting oversized cargo.

Refrigerator (Reefer) - Temperature Controlled Trailers

Refrigerated trailers, or Reefers, are indispensable for transporting chilled or frozen products, maintaining precise temperature control regardless of external conditions. Widely available, these trailers ensure the integrity of temperature-sensitive cargo.

Specialized Trailers

Tailored to specific freight commodities or substances, specialized trailers encompass a variety of equipment types, including tank, perimeter, double gooseneck, and dolly trailers. These trailers are designed to meet the unique needs of specialized cargo, providing secure and efficient transport solutions.
